कंस्ट्रक्शन लिंक्ड ही मिलेगा होम लोन।GURGAON: MCG has listed 43 government sites in the city that have been encroached upon by private companies, following a recent meeting on the status of land under its jurisdiction.

According to the report by MCG's planning wing, private entities have encroached upon revenue roads in each zone under it, to build highrises in places like Ghata, Badshapur, Pawla Khusrupur, Gwalpahari, Choma, Silokhra, etc.

MCG commissioner Vikas Gupta said none of the developers had sought permission from DTCP or MCG before usurping government land, adding, when MCG served eviction notices, most managed to get stay orders on the disputed land. "As per Punjab Tenancy Act, 1887, civil courts can't decide such disputes. Only first class additional collector can. I've assigned the district attorney to take up the issue of MCG's claims over the plots with the additional collector's office soon," said Gupta.
